Nike SB Dunk Low Pro

1 colorway of the Nike Nike SB Dunk Low Pro on SoleBook.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro traces its DNA back to the original Dunk, a 1985 basketball silhouette that Nike reworked for skateboarding in 2002 when the SB program launched. Skaters were drawn to its low-profile build, wide platform for board feel, and the padded collar that later became a signature Zoom Air insole upgrade for impact protection. By 2015, the SB Dunk Low Pro had already cycled through countless collaborations with skate shops and artists, cementing its status as one of the most collected shoe families in sneaker culture rather than just a performance skate shoe. That year's run leaned on the model's reputation for storytelling through colorways and materials, with suede and leather uppers paired with shops like Diamond Supply and various regional skate boutiques. The SB Dunk Low had by then crossed fully into resale territory, with certain releases selling out within minutes and reselling for multiples of retail. What kept the silhouette relevant wasn't reinvention but consistency, Nike SB stuck to the proven shape while using colorways, textures, and shop tie-ins to keep the line feeling fresh for a fanbase that treated each release as a cultural artifact rather than footwear.
